My true colors? Do you even know what the fuck that term means? In no way am I saying anything to fool or betray anyone. I am not pretending to be a fan of your team and then discrediting their moves. I'm giving credit where it's due for making a good selection in the draft, but I'm not over-crediting them - and that's exactly where your problem with what I said lies. I didn't feel it was that big of a need and you obviously felt differently. Instead of talking shit to me, why didn't you just say that? You act like a bitch, so I'll call you a bitch. Call it childish if you wish, but I call it like I see it.
You could have easily said what you had to say without picking a fight like a drunk obnoxious bitch at the bar.
As a matter of fact, I do. I won't even pull up any examples because it's not necessary. You know as well as I do that fans of every team are all up in threads about other teams. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
On top of that, THIS IS NOT A THREAD ABOUT YOUR TEAM. This thread is about Tony switching teams. So what the fuck are you getting at?
This coming from the guy who on more than one occasion implied he lives a happier, more successful life than everyone else on here, but when asked what exactly it is he does for a living, conveniently forgot to provide an answer.
Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Yeah yeah. Just like "we would see" leading up to October 8, 2006. That "we will see" bullshit is consistent with a fan who knows the other team is the better team, but refuses to admit it until his team loses to said team. Save it. We'll talk about the head-to-head matchup when the game is actually coming up.
In the most recent 2 seasons, THEY'VE CONTINUOUSLY GOTTEN BETTER AND IT'S SHOWED UP ON THE FIELD AND IN THE WIN COLUMN. There's a reason the nation is taking notice of our emergence and nobody is saying anything about what the raiders have done the last few seasons. There's also a reason the offseason acquisitions aren't causing a stir or propelling your team into an emerging contender.
And what the fuck does this statement have to do with me? I don't give a shit what some other Niner fans say. You're not replying to them, you're replying to me and I never said anything of the sort. I happen to think they made some good moves and are indeed headed in the right direction. That's not the problem here. The problem is I'm not giving them as much credit as you want me to. You want me to say they had a flawless offseason and will become a legitimate contender this year. Nothing short of that will be good enough for you. We both know this is what's going on here.
The fact of the matter is you don't have any fuckin clue whether or not the draft picks or other offseason acquisitions will turn your team into a contender, but if anyone points that out, to you, it's pure bias from a fan of another team. Take your head out of your fuckin ass.
Wait and see your team on the field before you declare which direction they're headed in. My team has been headed in the right direction ON THE FIELD for the last season and a half since Mike Singletary took over. Yours has improved on paper, but that hasn't translated onto the field yet. You don't seem to understand that.
Take notes of what? What the fuck are you talking about? A team can't be "back" before they even set foot on the field. I'll take notes if the raiders pull a complete turn-around and become a legitimate contender in one season. Good luck with that, but truth be told, it's highly unlikely. You set yourselves up for this disappointment every single offseason, so I shouldn't have expected any less from you this year.
They've made some moves that look good on paper. Wait until they prove it on the field.
OK, I see where you're going with this. You got what you think is a good QB and now you're gonna use that as a means of bashing our QB.
You can try to discredit Alex Smith all you want. I am not a Smith fan. But if you wanna take that route, let's compare the two, shall we?
Campbell in 16 games:
3,618 yards, 20 TDs, 15 INTs, 64.5%, 86.4 rating.
Smith in 10.5 games:
2,350 yards, 18 TDs, 12 INTs, 60.5%, 81.5 rating.
Smith's yards, TDs and INTs extrapolated into 16 games:
3,580 yards, 27 TDs, 18 INTs.
As you can see, the QB that you acquired isn't much better than our "loss," if at all, AND he put up those numbers on a better team with a far more talented surrounding cast than what he has to work with now. Don't expect similar numbers from Campbell with DHB as a "weapon" and McFadden trying to alleviate the pressure with the run game.
I still think acquiring Campbell was a good move because he's better than anybody else you guys have. It was indeed a step in the right direction. But I will not over-credit the move because they guy was just a mediocre QB in Washington, where he had more to work with. I personally wouldn't expect anything more from him in Oakland with less to work with, but I'm sure you do.
If you wanna talk football, let's talk football. If you just wanna discredit me and my team and nothing more, then it's whatever. This type of shit is why I generally avoid this forum until the season starts. You can talk big before the season starts, but that big talk ends when your team begins the season 1-3 and you start to realize you're in for another year of disappointment. It's easier to discuss these things when the products are actually on the field instead of on paper. Right now you're juiced, but 5 weeks into the season, after seeing what your team has to offer, you may feel differently.
Any fan of your team that doesn't have their head so far up their ass that it's looking like a massive adams apple knows what I'm saying is legit, like it or not.
